I-285 Ramp to I-75 Closed by Concrete Barrier

Find an alternate route to avoid severe traffic jams.

A concrete barrier which fell off of a truck has stopped all traffic on the I-285 East on-ramp to I-75 North near Cumberland Mall in Cobb County.

The Georgia Department of Transportation estimates that the blockage will be cleared by 1:30 p.m., but traffic has already begun to back up to the Chattahoochee River.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area altogether or use an alternate route in their commute.
